Farwell Brain Fingerprinting
Executive Summary

Farwell
Brain Fingerprinting:
A
New Paradigm in Criminal
Justice and
Counterterrorism

What is
Farwell Brain Fingerprinting?

Farwell
Brain Fingerprinting
technology is a new
scientific technology to
detect whether specific
information is stored in a
person’s brain.This technology can
provide evidence to
identify criminals and
terrorists accurately and
scientifically.Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
measures brainwave
responses to
crime-relevant or
terrorism-relevant words
or pictures presented on a
computer screen.To date, Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
has not resulted in any
incorrect determinations –
there have been no false
positives or false
negatives.It has provided
highly accurate results in
over 200 tests, including
tests on FBI agents and
tests sponsored by the CIA
and the US Navy.Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
has been ruled admissible
in court in a murder case.

Proven
Accuracy in US Government
Tests; Scientific
Publications

Brain Fingerprintingtesting detected which
people in a group were FBI
agents, by measuring brain
responses to words and phrases
that only FBI agents would
recognize.This research was
conducted by Dr. Lawrence
Farwell, the inventor of Brain
Fingerprintingtechnology,
in collaboration with Dr. Drew
Richardson, then a scientist at
the FBI Laboratory.Dr. Farwell replicated
this research using a larger
group at the US Navy.In research funded by the
CIA and other research, Dr.
Farwell also used Brain
Fingerprintingtechnology
to test whether or not persons
of interest had knowledge of
crimes or espionage acts.Brain Fingerprinting has
also proven highly accurate in
detecting which individuals knew
specific information that
characterizes explosives
(IED/EOD) experts.Dr. Farwell has published
papers on Brain Fingerprintingtesting in leading
peer-reviewed scientific
journals, including a
publication co-authored with FBI
scientist Sharon Smith in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.In these studies, Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
provided the correct
determination for every
individual tested, with a high
statistical confidence in every
individual case.

Ruled
Admissible in Court; Man Convicted of
Murder Freed after 24 Years

Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
was ruled admissible in court in the
case of Terry Harrington, who was
convicted of murder in 1978 in Iowa
and sentenced to life in prison.Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
proved that the record stored in
Harrington’s brain did not match the
crime scene, and did match his
alibi.Confronted with the Brain
Fingerprintingevidence,
the only alleged witness to the
crime recanted.In
a sworn statement admitted as
evidence, Harrington’s accuser
confessed that he had lied in the
original trial to avoid being
prosecuted for the crime himself.In
a postconviction hearing, the judge
ruled Brain Fingerprintingtesting
admissible, but stopped short of
granting a new trial.Harrington
appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court
for a new trial based on Brain
Fingerprintingtesting
and other evidence.The
Supreme Court overturned
Harrington’s conviction, and granted
him a new trial based on
constitional rights violations in
the original trial.The
State elected not to re-try him,
largely due to the recantation of
the key witness that was elicited by
his being confronted with the Brain
Fingerprinting results.Harrington
is now a free man.

Brain Fingerprinting Helps Put
a Serial Killer in Prison for Life

Macon
County, Missouri
Sheriff Robert Dawson engaged Dr.
Farwell to conduct a Brain
Fingerprinting test on murder
suspect JB Grinder.The
test proved that the record stored
in his brain matched the scene of
the murder of Julie Helton.Faced
with a certain conviction and a
probable death sentence, Grinder
pled guilty in exchange for life
without parole.He
also confessed to the murders of
three other young women.

Counterterrorism Applications

In any crime or
terrorist act, the brain of the
perpetrator is always there --
planning, executing, and recording
the crime.There
may or may not be other kinds of
evidence.Brain
Fingerprintingtechnology
can identify the perpetrators and
planners of terrorist acts by
detecting the record stored in the
brain.In
addition, it could be used to
identify trained terrorists.This
capability is demonstrated by Brain
Fingerprinting’s proven ability to
detect specific training, as shown
in tests at the FBI and the US Navy
and tests to detect concealed
bomb-making (IED/EOD) knowledge.Brain
Fingerprintingtechnology
can detect trained terrorists, bomb
makers, members of a terrorist cell,
etc., even before they strike.

Patented Technology;
Contrast with Other Technologies

Dr. Farwell has
been issued four US patents and one
UK patent on thetechnology.Both
the Brain Fingerprinting test
methodology and the P300-MERMER
brain response are patented.

Brain Fingerprintingtesting
has nothing to do with lie detection.Rather,
it detects information stored in the
brain by measuring brain responses.Lie
detector or polygraph machines measure
emotional stress responses, and are not
admissible in court. Conventional
fingerprinting and DNA testing
technologies are accurate and
scientific, but only apply in about one
percent of cases.

How Brain Fingerprinting
Technology Works

The
fundamental difference between
the perpetrator of a crime and
an innocent person is that the
perpetrator, having committed
the crime, has the details of
the crime stored in his brain,
and the innocent suspect does
not.Similarly, a trained
terrorist has specific
terrorism-related knowledge
stored in his brain.This is what Brain
Fingerprinting testing detects
scientifically.

Words or pictures
relevant to a crime, terrorist act,
terrorist training, or specific
knowledge or expertise are presented
on a computer screen, in a series
with other, irrelevant words or
pictures. A suspect’s brainwave
responses to these stimuli are
measured non-invasively using a
patented headband equipped with EEG
sensors. A proprietary computer
program then analyzes the data to
determine if the crime-relevant
information is stored in the brain.A
specific, measurable brain response
known as a P300 is emitted by the
brain of a perpetrator who has the
details of a crime stored in his
brain, but not by an innocent
suspect lacking this record in his
brain.The P300 response has been
extensively researched and widely
published in leading professional
journals for more than 30 years and
has gained broad acceptance in the
scientific field of
psychophysiology.

In his research on
the P300 response, Dr. Farwell
discovered that the P300 is one
aspect of a larger brainwave
response that he named a P300-MERMER
(memory and encoding related
multifaceted electroencephalographic
response). The discovery of the
P300-MERMER brain response allows
the results gained through the P300
to be more accurate.Since
the inclusion of the P300-MERMER in
the brainwave data analysis
algorithm, Brain Fingerprintingtesting has made a definite
determination in every case,
including felony crimes.100%
of determinations have been correct.

Dr. Farwell has
offered a $100,000 for beating a
Brain Fingerprinting test, and no
one has succeeded in doing so.
